Stacey Solomon has addressed the rumours she has secretly split from husband Joe Swash. The presenter, 36, has been married to former EastEnders star Joe, 44, since 2022 but fans began to suggest that things had gone awry earlier this week when Stacey was spotted without her wedding ring on several occasions.
Over the weekend, the former X Factor star ditched her wedding ring again, which she previously wore all the time, as she updated fans on Instagram sparking concern.
The mum dropped by on Wednesday’s This Morning with Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley to discuss her judging stint on Britain’s Got Talent, but conversation quickly turned to her love life.
Stacey admitted she hadn’t even seen Joe’s Mother’s Day post that was dedicated to her on social media. Ben said: “It was just gorgeous. It was just talking about how you’ve got this incredible family and how you’re doing an amazing job. We love watching the two of you – but there’s all these crazy rumours going on at the minute.”

Stacey, who wore a ring on her wedding finger for the TV appearance, quickly tackled the rumours head on, as she shot back: “What are the rumours? There’s a new rumour each week. I’m terrible. I don’t read any of that stuff.” Looking down the barrel of the camera, Stacey said: “Have I not been wearing my ring? I probably took it off to go to the toilet or something, I don’t know!”
Stacey then joked that Joe is too busy constructing a ‘lake’ at their home Picke Cottage to take notice. Stacey once again joked: “It’s filling up! Maybe I dropped my ring in the lake? With our marriage,” leaving the television hosts in stitches. She added: “What has he been saying? Do you know what, I’ve got to start checking my social media more!”
Despite missing Joe’s social media post, the Sort Your Life Out host did find time to make a Mother’s Day post of her own on Instagram that was dedicated to her children. Captioning the snap in which Leighton, Zachary, Rex, Rose and Belle all pose proudly with their mum, she insisted “no-one can bring us down”, penning: “My Life’s Work…When I’m with you I remember what it’s all about. No-one can bring us down as long as we have each other.
“Happy Mother’s Day to all of the incredible mummas and mother figures being hero’s every single day. Thinking of those of you who find today extremely difficult.”
